Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for your interest in publishing papers in Catalysts. We invite you to contribute original and high-quality interdisciplinary research papers devoted to currently important topics in catalysis and related subjects to be published in this Special Issue. Studies significantly advancing our fundamental understanding of and that focus on the catalytic conversion of municipal solid wastes (MSW) for the efficient and clean utilization of all components will be given primary consideration. Field studies are preferred, while papers describing laboratory experiments must demonstrate significant advances in the methodology or mechanistic understanding and have a clear connection to the catalytic pathway and catalysis chemistry. Descriptive, repetitive, incremental or regional-scale studies with limited novelty will not be considered.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Recycling and reusing spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have gained a lot of attention in recent years, both ecologically and commercially. The carbon nanotube-loaded CoFe2O4 (CoFe2O4@CNTs) composite was made using a solvothermal technique utilizing wasted LIBs as the starting material and carbon nanotubes as support, and it was used as an efficient peroxymonosulfate (PMS, HSO5−) activator to degrade chloroquine phosphate (CQP). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were utilized to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the catalyst generated. The impacts of CoFe2O4@CNTs dosage, PMS concentration, reaction temperature, initial pH value, starting CQP concentration, and co-existing ions have undergone extensive experimental testing. In comparison to bare CoFe2O4, the CoFe2O4@CNTs demonstrated increased catalytic activity, which might be attributed to their super electron transport capacity and large surface area. In ideal conditions, the mineralization efficiency and removal efficiency of 10 mg/L CQP approached 33 and 98.7%, respectively. By employing external magnets, the CoFe2O4@CNTs catalyst may be simply recycled and reused several times. The potential reaction mechanism in the CoFe2O4@CNTs/PMS system was also investigated. In summary, this study indicates that CoFe2O4@CNTs generated from spent lithium-ion batteries have a high potential in PMS activation for CQP and other pollutant degradation. Full article
